Zagami and Steven A. Allen.

State and Baltimore County police searched Harrison's Timo-nium home for 10 hours in July and hauled away several envelopes of personal papers. They would not discuss the reason for the search. Allen said yesterday that he believes Susan Harrison's "sons are concerned there will never be a criminal case and want to become actively involved in forcing a case and become investigators for the case."

The suit filed in July by Jonathan Hawkes Owsley and Nicholas Barrett Owsley, the Ruxton woman's adult sons from another marriage blames James Harrison for their mother's death and accuses him of abusing her for years.
